People Quit Coffee and Get Well onf Postum Food Coffee. A man in Miiford, Ind., says he did not quit drinking coffee beeause he thought it hurt him, but because he found a morn- ing beverage he liked better in Postum Food Coffee, but to his wonder and sur- prise he found in a few weeks all of the 0@ symptoms of sickness had left him. He bad been greatly troubled with his and heart, also with what is stomach called “water brash,” and dull head- aches, “which made me very irritable and quick-tempered.” All of these symptoms disappeared and he discovered, in spite of all his previous theories, that coffee was really the cause | of his troubles, and the leaving off of coffee and taking on Postum Food Coffee brought about a perfect cure. He speaks aiso of Mrs. Josephiene Kelly, living at Elkhart, Ind. Says she | was afficted much as he was, but had be- come more emaciated than he. 8o Shei quit drinking coffee and took on Postum Food Coffee.

SS JE sU | Charge of Murder Is Made Against the Prisoner Imme- diately After His Victim Expires. BERKELEY, June 18—Dr. John G. Jes- sup is dead. He passed away at 1115 o'clock to-night at his residence, 2101 Hearst avenue, where he was taken after he was shot by Charles G. Adams. The attending surgeons gave up hope of re- covery several hours before the end came. Although the wounded man rallied con- siderably after the first shock of the shooting, giving the doctors much hope, the continued severe internal hemorrhage that could not be checked was deemed to be a grave and alarming symptom. During the earlier hours of the even- ing the patient had to be kept under oplates to ease the pain he was suffering from the wound. At 10 o'clock this even- ing the change became so marked for the worse that the attending physicians gave up all hope and saw the patient was sink- ing rapidly and would not -survive through the night. The end came more quickly than they expected. Death was due to the shock and to extreme hemorr- | hage. Murder Charge Against Adams. Deputy Coroner Streightiff took charge of the case and removed the body to the Morgue at Berkeley, Where an inquest will be held. A charge of murder will be registered against Adams at once. The man who is now a murderer was in a state bordering upon delirium tremens at the County Jail to-day, and he was, like his victim, under medical attention. His whisky-saturated brain was incap- able of clear thought, but the former clergyman managed to express his fervid thanks that he had not killed the man who had for months stood between the besotted parent and the daughter, who is now critically ill from the effects of last night's tragic affair, added to the months_of abuse to which her drink-rid- den father had subjected her. Pitiable as is the story of the downfall of the once brilliant and scholarly cleric, the chapter that ended with the murder of Dr, Jessup is the saddest. Sought Bottle When Wife Died. Eleven years ago Adams’ wife died and after that he began to seek comfort in the cup. The habit became so strong that at last he succumbed and the climax came the day he was read out officlally from the ministry of the Episcopal Church, This formal deposing occurred a year ago last January. Bishop William Ford Nichols performed the distressing duty in San Francisco. Then Adams had been rector of St. Andrew’'s church at West Oakland. After he had been offi- cially ousted from the ministry he fell rapidly. Brutality to his children became £o0 common that many times did Dr. Jes- Sup, their intimate friend, and others in Berkeley interfere. Miss Adams is at the residence of Mrs. Arnold Steubenrach at 1741 Walnut street, where she is under Dr. Rowell's care. 1t CCUMBS TO WOUND INFLICTED BY CHARLES G. ADAMS + Mr. Sresovich has long been a promi- nent member of various fraternities. In the Native Sons and Druids he has held the highest offices in the gift of the lodges to which he belongs. He is en- gaged in the fruit business with the well- known Sresovich firm, and has lately been promoted tos the responsible office of secretary of the corporation. Both of the voung people have a host of friends in exclusive Italian society, and they start forth in married life with enviable prospects. It is learned that Miss Dal Valle will not relinquish her leadership in philanthropic work. The young couple are planning to enter- tain extensively upon their return from their bridal tour. At the close of the ceremony to-day a reception will be held in honor of the event, to which a very large number of friends have been invited. Miss Dal Valle has already received many beautiful and costly presents. The couple will take a short bridal tour to Southern California, after which v will take up their residence in this is planned to take her to some sanitarium, ;w"here absolute rest will be prescribed for er. Adams Has Wealthy Sister. Shortly before the shooting took place Dr. Jessup had been in conference with Dr. Rowell, planning to remove Adams to a private sanitarium, where he could be watched and kept from drink and eventually cured of his fearful vice. Dr. torney Allen concerning the case at the very time Dr. Jessup was shot. Adams has a wealthy sister in the Hast who is said to have been assisting materi- ally in the support of the family. Twice ghe has taken him out of homes for in- ebriates, where his friends had placed him. Recently she sent him $800, which has been consumed in his last prolonged debauch. ‘W. J. Adams, brother of the arrested man, came to Berkeley this morning and called on his rilece, Miss Agnes Adams, and visited Dr. Jessup. He expressed no ;]e‘sllre to see his brother at the Oakland ail. This morning Adams' first query was concerning the victim of his drunken anger. “Thank God, Jessup is not dead,” he e claimed. “It is all because of drink. I shot my best friend when I fired at Jes- sup. Br. Jessup's wite, from whom he is sep- arated, is living in Marin County with their daughter. She sent word she would like to see her husband. but the gurgeons refused to permit the visit to be made. e Certificates for New Teachers.

S s v Neglect to Advertise Proposals to Paint Schoolhouse. RS TS aR for The Board of Education has been de- tected in another violation of the char- ter in the irregular invitation of bids for the painting and whitening of the interior of the Washington Grammar School building at a cost of several hun- dred dollars. This action was taken not- withstanding that the organic law of the | city specifically provides that the clean- ing, repairs and improvement of all pub- ! lic buildings shall be under the supervi- | sion of the Board of Public Works, which shall advertise for bids if the cost is in| excess of $260. | The discovery that the Board of Educa- | | tion was ignoring the plain provisions of the charter was made quite accidentally by Auditor Wells yesterday. One of the contractors who said he had filed the low- | est bid with the Board of Education to do the painting called on the Auditor to| ascertain if the proceedings were regular and he was informed that unless the charter provisions placing the responsibil- ity of the improvement in the hands of the Board of Public Works was complied with, he would not be paid, if he was awarded the contract. Board Neglects to Advertise. It further developed that the Board of | invite bids, had disregarded the law,/ by notices placed for five days in the ad- per. Only two other bids were submitted | besides that of Schnee's and the three | bidders evidentiy received some inslde information that the interior of the build- ing named was to be painted. This of {t- | self defeats the plain purpose of public notice for work to be done in order to insure plenty of competitive bids. Schnee visited the Board of Education’s rooms last Monday and handed the enve- lope containing his bid to Secretary Han- sen. “‘This is a bid for the painting of the interior of Washington Grammar School,” sald Schnee. “I know nothing about any bids having | been invited for the work,” replied Han- sen. “Well,” said Schnee, “I was told to put in a bid for the work and here it is.” “Two other persons must have been told the same thing,” said Hansen, “as I have | received two bids for the same work. I| will take your bid, however, and present it _to the Board with the two others.” ‘When Hansen was asked why bids for the work had not been advertised for in the regular way he said he did not know. ““It is quite likely,” said Hansen, ‘‘that Directors Denman or Casserly, who have charge of repairs to school buildings, asked some people to submit bids for the his was only done to get some s Proceeding Is Irregular. When asked if this was a regular pro- ceeding Hansen acknowledged that it was not and said if he had been asked for his advice on the question he would have ruled that it was illegal and that under the charter the Board of Public Works alone could have the work done after requisition had been made upon it by the | Board of Education. The last named | board was preparing to award the con- | tract when the Auditor called a halt. Another feature of the charter violation was the visit made to the Auditor by members of the Board to inquire whether he would audit the demands for the work | ordered by it. Auditor Wells, who was primed with the information secured from one of the irregular bidders, peremptorily informed the Directors that he would only sign the demands if the bids were invited by the Board of Public Works in the reg- ular way. Later in the day the Board of Public ‘Works consented to be a party to the charter violation by allowing the Board of Hducation to award the contract and 80 on with the work under the supervision of Superintendent Barnett. In order to be relieved of the work of preparing plans and inviting proposals the first named | board is compounding a manifestly illegal proceeding.

L e e s ] ) NINE-HOUR WATCHES ARE ARRANGED FOR POLICEMEN New System of Patrolling City Will Go Into Effect July First. The Police Commissioners, at their meeting last night, unanimously adapted the plan suggested by Chief Sullivan, | whereby the police officers shall on and watches. Under the new plan the officers’ watches | will be from 1 to 10 p. m. and from 10| p.m to7a m From7a m tolp m.| will be known as the “short watch,” and will be kept by men selected from the | 1 to 10 p. m. watch. By this means each ; officer will perform duty nine hours daily with the exception of one day in forty, when he will remain on duty fifteen hours. Officer Cleveland Peters was fined $10 ! for reporting for duty forty minutes late. | The case of Officer Greenan, charged with neglect of duty, was lald over for a week on account of a defect in the complaint. E. Furey, P. Horold, W. E. Coe, C. J. Coe, J. Brickwedel, W. F. McAlister, F. O'Neil, H. W. C. Greenway and E. R. White were appointed special officers by the Commissioners. Permits to carry weapons were granted twenty-one applicants, mainly . employes of various iron works. The Commissioners adopted a resolution requiring police officers on the sick list to | show cause why they should not be dis- missed from the force. This action was taken in order to determine whether or | not _they should be retired on a pension or dismissed. The latter procedure is a necessity in the cases of the officers who have been unable to perform duty for a | great length of time, unless they make | application for retirement.

A remarkable feature of the concert was the number of Ameri- | can girls who were selected to sing. It was probably for this reason that Gen- eral Horace Porter, the American Embas- sador, attended. Among the charming singers were Claudia Hockenhull of Boston, Lou Orms- by of Omaha, Kathryn Coven of Charles- ton, Elizabeth Parkinson of Kansas City, Mo., and Ellen Beach Yaw of San Fran-| cisco. Hannebains of the opera company accompanied Miss Yaw on the flute in an | aria from “Lucia_di Lammermoor.” The | singer's voice and the notes of the flute blended in such perfect harmony that it was almost impossible to distinguish one from the other.

Wilson, & waliter living at 1113 Treat avenue, wrote obscene and scurrilous letters to her. The young woman stood the epistolary fire as long as she could, and then notified the United States Postal Department. Wil- son was arrested last night by Up“ed States Marshal Shine and lodged beMind the bars of the County Jail. Miss Crane complained to the postal authorities that Wilson had rsistently annoyed her without cause. She tried to keep away from him, but he made it a point to meet her at unexpected places. When she avoided him he commenced to write filthy letters. Frequently, instead of using writing paper, he inscribed his vulgar thoughts on cuffs or portions of shirt bosoms and sent them through the mail. At first the young lady gpaid little attention to his affronts, except to return a few of his letters. But when they com- menced to come faster than she could send them back she invoked the aid of the Postal Department to have them sw%pedA Before notifying the authorities, how- | ever, she warned Wilson to desist, but he | only' laughed at her warning. Most of Wilson's literary efforts are now in the hands of the postal authorities and they will be used as evidence against him. This with the testimony of Miss Crane, the authoritles c¢laim, makes a very strong case against the accused. — ——ee———— NO NEW DEVELOPMENT ST.
